About

Kelvin is close with his grandparents but his mother struggles to keep the family housed and there are days they only have one meal. He wants to succeed in school along with his brother.

During our recent trip to Eldoret, we met up with our students supported by The School Fund.
Kelvin wanted to say: "I am in Grade 4 now. I like my school and friends at school. Thank you School Fund!."
Hello, am Kelvin from Kenya. I hope to do grade 3 if I can have help to pay fees and my books. I thank you for giving on match day to me. God bless you Kelvin
